Hi, can anyone help me!!?
I can't get my sidelight bulb out to replace it with a new bulb. I know it's ticket to get to them but I just can't gelt the old bulb out. Any help would be appreciated.

Just pulls out. Really easy, try gripping the bulb holder with a cloth for grip. There is no twisting needed for the sidelights. The DRL,s however you need to twist the holder 90 degrees and then pull out. If you are still having difficulty try a set of long nose pliers on the bulb holder. This is referring to my 2011 FL FR. Hope this helps.

Yeah as above they are probably the easiest bulb to replace on the Leon. Indicator bulbs in the headlights are near impossible.

Tell me about it. Had to resort to taking the whole headlight housing out to replace one darn bulb

They come out really easy. Maybe just give it a wobble whilst you pull them out. Mine fell out by itself into the headlamp last week, so they definitely aren't hard to remove by hand
